msisleman Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Hi, I'm anticipating having massive issues meeting the CAT 1 emission thresholds for IVA with my carbed 1997 919cc Blade engine, so wanted to put a feeler out to see if anyone has a working pre 1995 Fireblade engine sitting around spare at all please, either for me to buy, or borrow for a large amount of beer tokens? Thanks, Craig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAIGR Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Could be worth a try. http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/forum/34/viewthread.php?tid=195965 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msisleman Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Thanks Craig, I've emailed him and a few others on LCB. He's asking £500 which is well above my budget. Craig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Pretender Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Just a thought - if the difference in power between the 893 and 919 isn't overwhelming (which I don't think it is?), could you consider selling the 919 to fund a reliable 893 and then squeeze more power out of it? Or, further down the line, upgrade the engine to something that might offer you more worthwhile gains? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinkturbo Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I built a VBlade with the 893 lump, just to pass sva, then changed after, it that helps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msisleman Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 The plan is to fit the 893 purely for IVA, as my 919 runs great. Craig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msisleman Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Bump. I would also like to get hold of an AB baffle plate for 893/919 engine, and billet sump if possible (baffle plate is the main thing though). Thanks, Craig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
